Olympus has released the new XLPLN25XSVMP SCALEVIEW 25x objective lens (NA 1.0) for the deep imaging of thick biological samples. The revolutionary SCALEVIEW approach was developed in collaboration with the RIKEN Brain Institute in Japan, where it allowed researchers to create highly accurate 3D structural representations of brain tissue. Until now, the use of such samples has been limited by the effects of tissue opacity and light scattering. To counter this, the new objective has a super-long-working-distance of 4mm and works alongside Olympus's new SCALEVEW-A2 clearing agent, which renders samples nearly translucent while preserving fluorescent signals...
